Kamala Harris accuses Trump of ‘backpedaling’ on presidential debate

Harris ‘ready to debate Donald Trump’ but rival refuses to finalize plans until Democrats formally make nomination

Kamala Harris has accused Donald Trump of “backpedaling” from a previously agreed presidential debate in September, as the Trump campaign said that it would not agree to finalizing plans until Harris formally becomes the Democratic nominee.

Harris told reporters on Thursday that she was “ready to debate Donald Trump”. A debate, hosted by ABC News, was planned for 10 September.
